CHANEL NO. 5, CREATED BY ERNEST BEAUX FOR COCO CHANEL IN 1921, BECAME THE MOST TREASURED NAME IN PERFUME AND A PRODUCT SYNONYMOUS WITH SOPHISTICATION AND LUXURY, QUALITIES WARHOL WAS INSPIRED BY IN THIS SERIES.

THE CHANEL NO. 5 PERFUME BOTTLE STOOD ALONE AS AN ICONIC REPRESENTATION OF THE PINNACLE OF WARHOL'S INTRIGUE WITH AMERICAN CONSUMERISM.

THE CHANEL NO. 5 IMAGE IS A QUINTESSENTIAL EXAMPLE OF THE POP ART MASTERY AND CREATIVE GENIUS OF ANDY WARHOL AS AN ARTIST.
